Read-A-Thon: Progress 1

Dear Me,

Although I'm a little exhausted from the day-out my little boy and I had just a few hours back (the reason why I'm a little behind), I am not that sleepy and can still hold a book, flip its pages and read.

To update my progress, I am following this format:


Title of book(s) read since last update:
~ The Eight by Katherine Neville


Number of books read since you started:
~ Aw, this is my first book.


Pages read since last update:
~ 26 pages excluding the cover and the few pages before chapter 1. :)


Running total of pages read since you started:
~ 36 pages


Mini-challenges completed:
~ None yet.


Other participants you've visited:
~ Maybe later, when I'm already done with my first book.



I was supposed to read John Grisham's book but I thought The Eight by Katherine Neville will perk me up since the plot seems like my kind of pleasure read.

After 36 pages (slow, I know but I'm tending some things on the side and that's also the reason why I can't track the time duration spent on reading), I'm waiting for the excitement and suspense to burst!

I've been hearing rave reviews about this book and I want to see (read) for myself if all the hype's worth it.
